For each basic stitch, we have included the abbreviation, the symbol,

crocheted piece with the corresponding crochet chart. In this manner, you
will learn all the various aspects of crocheting at the same time. Please
note that the illustrations in this booklet show how to crochet if you are
right-handed. If you are left-handed, use the opposite hand and work in
the opposite direction to that shown.
